Even though the FBC didn’t go into effect until March of 2002, I’ve heard
that shingle manufacturers were already shipping compliant shingles in 2001.
I think you would be safe assuming they met the requirements in October
2001. 

 

You could always ask the seller to have his roofer provide the documentation
that the shingles meet the code requirements.

Subject: [Florida Code Talk] Wind Mitigation Verification Inspection

 

Group,

I need you insight. Last week I did a wind mit inspection on a home where I
was unable to verify thru procedures that I’m aware of that the roof
covering met the minimum requirement of the 2001 Building Code. ( 3 tab
dimensional Shingles)

 

1) I did a public records search and found the roof covering was permitted
in October of 2001.

2) The AHJ or the owner had no record of manufacturer of the roof covering

3) The attachments penetrated the ½” cdx roof sheathing meeting the minimum
penetration requirement but only 4 attachments per shingle

4) No extra shingles at the site and therefore unable to verify manufacture

 

Under does the roof covering meet the requirements of the 2001 Building Code
I checked the box unknown or can not verify

 

My client called today in a rage because his insurance is going to increase
about $ 1,000 per year and was told by his agent that he picked the wrong
inspector. With the information provided have I missed something? 

 

 

Regards,

Mark Tyson
